I carry a cotton ball to wipe around inside the tire when inspecting for punctures. Saves bloody fingers when fibers catch on projections making them easy to find. Something I learned from a cycle touring website 20 some years ago.

Brrrrrrr!
2 weeks agoThanks Elsp. Good to see you guys are now on Hokkaido, our favourite of the Japanese islands. Great camping options, always with an onsen within walking distance.
2 weeks agoEnjoyed catching up with this on our rest day. Sorry you both had tummy trouble. That's my one big memory of La Paz! You have seen lots more snowy peaks than we did, looks fantastic.
Keep warm if you can, better.
